My understanding is if there is a definitive Dx, but symptoms are also documented in the assessment part of the SOAP report, to ONLY code the definitive Dx.

T-Spine pain and T-Spine OA.

I just want to reaffirm that I'm understanding the guidelines - I should not code T-Spine pain (724.1) with T-Spine OA (721.2), correct?

I'm 99 percent sure that I do not code it, and if I'm correct, then this can just be used as a reference for future inquiries.

Thank you,

Chaim Zeitz, CPC-A
